      I never knew we had an IRC channel! Our New York group -- which was probably the most active grouplet -- never used it.

      Of course, there is absolutely nothing preventing you from embarking on the type of software improvement we were aiming for in the Phalanx project.

      In the past few years, what I have done myself and have recommended others do as well is to identify CPAN distributions that look like they're not being actively maintained, c
